The way that the Ghouls were described reminded me of the Zombies in Warm Bodies

This book is such a great summer read! Loved the campy B-movie vibes and the characters were totally adorable. TDD is a book that definitely knows what it’s about. I would not recommend if you dislike gore, but hopefully you gleaned that from the cover lol. Nightmarish scenario but the ending was so sweet and hopeful.

A fun YA horror-mystery, full of music festivals, useless bisexuals pining for their best friends, and an interesting take on zombies, this book got me out of a reading slump. It was a quick and easy read, inclusive in a lovely way, and overall just *fun*.
